We began this lesson with an introduction to the artwork and life of the artist Vincent Van Gogh. In the presentation, the students were able to identify the different shapes, lines, colors and patterns that they see in in the artwork. The students then created a landscape in the style of Vincent Van Gogh’s "Starry Night." They then explored the use of a brushstroke on a separate piece of paper. They will be able to understand how to use a “loaded paintbrush” using 2 different colors, unmixed to create dimension in each brushstroke. The students will be able to use their knowledge of brushstrokes and paint to begin to paint their landscapes. Students then will wait for the first layer to dry to apply some different brushstrokes to create the sense of movement. To finish off this project, the students will outline their landscape using a black oil pastel and they will complete a writing assignment of their choice by picking from the writing wall displayed in the classroom
ART WORDS:
landscape: a scene outside
brushstroke: the line a brush makes when painting.
composition: the plan or blueprint of an artwork, how you set up an artwork.
